Bob Sinclar Asian Style
August 31st, 2007 by Nu Music Lover
Just a quickie from me (cue obvious jokes) that it looks like the second SHAPESHIFTERS album could be a considerably improvement on the first. That said that contained a couple of awesome tracks such as Lola’s Theme it was all the filler that was the issue. Which means the fact that their new track ‘New [...]

Carnival – I blame the parents
August 29th, 2007 by Nu Music Lover
One phrase for you and also implicitly one very clear excuse why I’m only making my first post of the week on Wednesday… Notting Hill Carnival!! It was absolutely amazing, what a way to lose one’s Carnival virginity. It was the musical party equivalent of losing your actual virginity on your 16th birthday with Swedish [...]

Musical Stealth Bombers
August 22nd, 2007 by Nu Music Lover
So have you heard it yet? You know what its like when you are anticipating new music from a big band or just an out and out personal fav who you’ve personally come to love over the years.

Cleopatra – Coming at ya!
August 20th, 2007 by Nu Music Lover
A real urban vibe to this weekend, I even got out my uni hoodie in a vain attempt to look ghetto whilst clearly being a scrawny white kid trying to be a gangsta who’s nearest ever interaction with a weapon was his older brothers Supersoaker, one of the really big one’s mind (it did have [...]

Musical Page Three Girls
August 17th, 2007 by Nu Music Lover
For me possibly the biggest shame of Radio One’s reschedule last September was that me and Ras Kwame don’t get to spend Wednesday evenings together any more (and let’s not even mention the tragedy that was losing Mr Nelson’s Soul Nation). My fondness for Omar( his studio guest this week) forced me to get my [...]

Musical Seven Pinters
August 14th, 2007 by Nu Music Lover
I have a confession to make. I was out boogieing over the weekend and at about 1am the DJ played a huge piece of disco house, not a particularly fashionable sound these days, often portrayed as cheesey and likely to lead to shouts of ‘on your own, on your own’ from all the too cool [...]

Radio One Bring Back the Smurfs
August 13th, 2007 by Nu Music Lover
I love radio one with an intensity that if it was a human I’d most likely have an ASBO whacked on me before you can say ‘in new music we trust’ but (this is when I do my ‘its not you its me’ bit) I have to say I found the Ibiza weekend quite disappointing. [...]
